Applicable to

MediCal QAWeb

Note: The terms family or group are used inconsistently throughout QAWeb but they both refer to the same principle. For the sake of simplicity, I will use display family throughout the rest of this article.

What is a display family?

In the MediCal QAWeb Server application, the display types are bundled in categories, called display families. Many functions and policies are based on this concept of display families.

For a user, it may not always be clear to which display family a particular display belongs. Therefore, the QAWeb Server user guide gives an overview of the different display families and corresponding display types. You can find a link to this user guide below this article.

Where is this family used?

The display families are not relevant for a standalone QAWeb Agent. On the QAWeb Server, however, the families are used for the following:

Policies (display settings and QA tasks)
Licenses (Premium and Premium Software licenses) in your portfolio are linked to specific display families.

Which display families do I have?

You can easily track down the display family for each display type you have. The following knowledge base article explains how you can do that: [KB7979].
